Gentlemen of Cricket
A great culmination of the term was at cricket on Saturday at The Southport School. I was doing a stint as umpire when the coach from the other side approached me for a chat. This was the second time we had played TSS during the season and he said that he and other coaches at the school had commented on the sportsmanlike, yet competitive attitudes of our boys. This type of feedback is not rare and is a reflection of the wonderful boys we have at our College and a great way to end Term 1!
Holiday Sport— Rugby, Soccer and Australian Football
29-31 March—EREA Football Tournament at ATC For three days we are hosting EREA schools from all over Australia and are looking forward to a very competitive carnival.

As we come to the end of another term I would like to thank all the staff involved in running our sporting program at the College. Without their generosity, enthusiasm, commitment, creativity and expertise, we would not be able to run the great programs that we do.

Enjoy a well earned break and see you in Term 2.
